GEOTECH BUILDERS LTD, Kha # 225, Century Centre (7TH Floor), Progoti Sarani, Merul
Badda, Dhaka-1212.was entrusted with the geotechnical investigation work for the
above mentioned site by the concerned authority.
Client: Md. Abul Kalam Mojumder
PURPOSE
The purpose of the investigation was to obtained information relating to foundation

condition and natural construction materials commensurate with the magnitude and
type of structure involved within the project. The soil investigation both in the field and
laboratory were carried out in detail to evaluate the mechanical, physical and
geotechnical properties of safe and economic foundation for the with a view to
recommend the safe and economic foundation for the proposed structures to be
constructed within the investigation site.
The report contained the works program, methodology of the field and laboratory
investigation works, discussions on physical and engineering properties of sub-soil
formation encountered during investigation, evaluation of laboratory test data, analysis
of bearing capacities, foundation recommendations and charts and graphs representing
the field and laboratory test results.

METHODOLOGY
The methodology of conducting field and laboratory investigation and evaluations
bearing capacities of shallow and deep foundations is discussed below;
FIELD INVESTIGATION
Execution of Borings
The field borings were conducted using 100 mm dia casing. The method consists in first
driving a casing through which a hollow drill rod with a sharp chisel or chopping bit at
the lower end is inserted. Water is forced under pressure through the drill rod which is
alternatively raised and dropped, and also rotated. The soil cuttings are forced up to the
dropped and also rotated. The soil cuttings are forced up to the ground in the drilled rod
and casing. Before taking SPT and collection of disturbed and undisturbed soil samples,
the bore hole is cleaned with repeated circulation of mud slurry.
Standard Penetration Tests(SPT)
The standard Penetration Tests (SPT) were performed in all the bore holes. The tests
were executed by using a thick walled split sampler of 35 mm inner dia and 50.8 mm
outer dia and 63.5 kg hammer falling freely from a constant height of 75 cm. The SPT
value (N-value) were taken as the; summation of blows required in 2nd and 3rd 15 cm of
penetration of sampler. The SPT values (N-values) are shown on the bore hole logs
against the respective interval of tests.
The Standard Penetration Tests provide a fair knowledge on the density and
consistency of the soil layer encountered and in addition yield disturbed/ semi-
disturbed soil samples from within the split spoon sampler used during the tests.
Disturbed Sample Collection

The disturbed samples were collected with the help of split spoon sampler used during
Standard Penetration Tests. The collected samples were classified in-situ and were
preserved in water tight polythene bags with proper identification marks for onward
transmission to the laboratory for further analysis.
The disturbed samples were also used to reconstruct depth wise stratification of bore
holes depending on its classifications.

Undisturbed Sample Collection
The undisturbed samples were collected whenever feasible from the cohesive layers
with the help of thin walled Shelby tubes 76 mm dia thin walled Shelby tubes are
penetrated into the undisturbed soil formation at the bottom of the borehole by
applying rapid but continuous force. The samples recovered within the Shelby tubes
were wax sealed at both ends and transmitted to the laboratory with proper
identification marks.
Recording of Ground Water Table
The ground water table was recorded in each of the boreholes by rope/rod sounding
after 24 hours of completion of the drilling and sampling operation.
Other Field Tests
Any other field tests, which were conducted at site was done as per AASHTO/ASTM
standard.
LABORATORY INVESTIGATION
Different types of laboratory tests were performed in the laboratory to evaluate the
physical and engineering properties of the sub-soil formation to facilitate determination
of soil bearing capacities and to recommend foundation type and magnitude.
Grain Size Analysis , Atterberg Limit and Sp. Gravity Tests were performed to ascertain
the detail composition of the soil and to evaluate the physical parameters of the
formation. These tests also help in classifying the soils properly for geological and
geotechnical interpretation.
Unconfined Compression, density and Shear tests were done to evaluate the shear
characteristics of the soils, which directly helps in bearing capacity calculation.
Consolidation tests provide data on consolidation behavior of the sub-soil formation.
The laboratory tests were performed as per AASHTO/ASTM Standard.

CALCULATION OF SOIL MECHANICS PARAMETERS
The bearing capacity of shallow and deep foundation and other foundation parameters
were evaluated using field and laboratory tests. For cohesionless soil and for instances
where UD samples could not be collected, the field SPT values after necessary
correction were used to obtained soil constants like cohesion©, angle of internal
friction(phi) and unit weight(y).
For silty fine sand, where SPT is more than 15, the correction of SPT values had been
done using following equation ;
N = 15 + 0.5 (N-15)
The empirical correlation of soil propertied with with SPT are given below :
For Cohesionless Soil

8 10.0 1.76 - 2.08 Stiff
16 20.0 1.92 - 2.24 Very Stiff
32 40.0 1.92 - 2.24 Hard

DETERMINATION OF BEARING CAPACITY OF SOIL FOR FOOTING.
The SPT is widely used to obtain the allowable bearing capacity values in the following
general equation for sandy soil( for 25 mm settlement)
qa = N/F1 Kd BF4
qa = N/F2 ( B+ F3/ B)2 Kd BF4
Where, qa = -------------------allowable bearing capacity, ksf

N = --------------------SPT Value
B = -------------------width of footing
D = --------------------depth of footing
Kd = 1+ 0.33 D/B 1.33
F1 = 2.5 (F factors )
F2 = 4 "
F3 = 1 "
F4 = 4 "
Terzaghi has expressed the bearing capacity values in the following general equation
(Terzaghi, 1942; Meterhof, 1951)
qult = 1.3 c Nc + D Nq + 0.6 BN
Where, qult = ----------------- ultimate bearing capacity, psf

c = ----------------- cohesion of soil, psf
 = -------------------- moist unit weight of soil pcf
D = ------------------- depth of foundation
B = ------------------- width of footing
Nc, Nq, N = ------------ bearing capacity factors

DETERMINATION OF PILE CAPACITY (A SINGLE PILE)
The load applied to a single pile is carried jointly by the soil beneath the tip of the pile
and by soil around the shaft, and the maximum load that the pile can support –the pile
capacity –is
Q = Ap*Eb + [( fs* D* L)
where
Q = pile capacity
Eb = end bearing capacity
fs = shaft resistance (skin friction)
Ap = area of pile point
D = diameter of pile
L = length of pile
End bearing:
Eb = 0.6 x N tsf  45.0 tsf (for granular soil) 

= 9 c (for cohesive soil)
where
c = cohesion of soil beneath pile point (or su)
N = standard penetration test value
Skin friction:
fs =  c (for cohesive soil)
= N/6 in ton/m2 (for granular soil)
where
 = adhesion factor
c = shearing strength

CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION
This Report is prepared on the basis of supplied SPT & Samples from field for
Construction of "G+8- Storied Residential Building" of Md. Abul Kalam Mojumder at
Plot # 4045, Block # N, Bashundhara R/A, Dhaka.
The sub-soil formation encountered at the proposed site is almost homogeneous.

The sequence of litho logical composition as well as consistency of the soil at
different depths has been depicted in the respective bore logs BH-01 to BH-03.
However, we have enclosed the allowable bearing capacity of soil for individual
column footing for different depth respectively with this report through Table-3 and
pile capacity for R.C.C. cast in situ pile through Table- 4.1 to 5.03.
For the precise recommendation, total load comes to the foundation is highly
needed. This is not within the scope of this report.
Considering the magnitude of the structure, the expert structural designer will put
his justice to select the suitable type of foundation.
